SCIENCE FICTION BRITANNIA
November - December 2006
In 2006, we invited you to travel in space and time with BBC Four's science fiction season. We showed a range of documentaries, archive classics and new drama on the channel, but we also asked viewers to take part via our My Science Fiction Life website. You can still read memories of science fiction on the website, and check our science fiction timeline, but it is no longer possible to contribute.
